Any of the Little America Locations. The Flagstaff,AZ location has those 'garden' tubs. Big enough to do laps in, or your favoret person to join you.

Sapp Bros. Denver also has tubs, but they are about the sme size as you would find at home.

Yeah, I love those big, deep tubs at Little America! So much time and so many miles in between good soaks, that hubby has to pry me out of 'em!!

That's why, in our shower bag, I include bathroom cleaning supplies. Even when we just shower, I scrub everything in there, THEN scrub myself clean!! LOL

lots of truck traffic thru Plymouth,In on 30(twice a week for me) shouldnt be too difficult for a " real " truckstop to compete with Pilot.

I think what everyone is saying is just cater to TRUCKERS.

Don't just have a C store that you can get a rig in that sells diesel.

quick break down, go to TA and learn what NOT to do...

1) Plenty of parking
2)Plenty of clean showers
3) Good restaurant food no fast food
4) Quality products and reasonable prices
5) At least 10 fuel lanes
6) Plenty of bathrooms
7) Exercise room

Driver lounge that is comfortable and with at least two TV's
9) People who know what the heck their doing, and not always answering with "I don't know"
10) Friendly and I mean friendly and courtesy workers.

I know this seems like a lot to ask, but if you have the $$$ and really care about making money and having happy customers, then it is worth every penny spent. Plus you can get a lot of advertising by word of mouth, and can expand into different markets as time goes by.

This happpends at every truck stop in the country.

Even those where bobtail parking only is clearly painted on the ground. IE: the J in Ripon,CA. They have 4-5 bobtail spots, just inside the driveway, clearly marked, but what do you find in there? Yup u guessed it full size trks/ trlers.
So i'll just go park in the 4 wheeler parking, and hope that the J sends some one out to tell me i cant park there. I'll then direct them to the full bobtail parking.

As for Sapps in Denver, i have never once had a problem there. Much better than than that piece o #### pilot.
